An observational study of agreement between percentage pain reduction calculated from visual analog or numerical rating scales versus that reported by parturients during labor epidural analgesia

Highlights • Epidural analgesia was assessed using visual analog and numerical rating scales. • We compare calculate percentage pain reduction (CPPR) versus patient-reported percentage pain reduction (PRPPR). • The agreement between CPPR and PRPPR was moderate. • PRPPR could be considered as a metho...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Epidural analgesia was assessed using visual analog and numerical rating scales. • We compare calculate percentage pain reduction (CPPR) versus patient-reported percentage pain reduction (PRPPR). • The agreement between CPPR and PRPPR was moderate. • PRPPR could be considered as a method to investigate analgesia for childbirth.
